In fact, draft-4645bis moves things around when possible to ensure that 
the ISO 639-3 reference name is first, see:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ltru-4645bis-10#section-2.3

That said, tools should attempt to display all of the Description fields 
when possible, and use the first Description field alone only when some 
constraint prevents displaying the others.  All of the Description 
fields are correct for the given subtag.

We just had another thread on ietf-languages in which a contributor 
apparently thought 'ca' was inadequate to tag "Valencian" content; I 
don't know if that was because "Catalan" is listed first or because he 
truly believes they are different languages.
